Image Overlay
Only NEF (RAW) photographs created with the D3 can be selected for
image overlay. Other images are not displayed in the selection screen.
Only NEF (RAW) photographs with the same image area and bit-depth can
be combined.
The overlay has the same photo info (including date of recording,
metering, shutter speed, aperture, exposure mode, exposure
compensation, focal length, and image orientation) and values for white
balance and picture control as the photograph selected for [Image 1].
Overlays saved in NEF (RAW) format use the compression selected for
[Type] in the [NEF (RAW) recording] menu and have the same bit depth as
the original images; JPEG overlays are saved using size-priority
compression.
